Don't have any spare door grab inserts though I'm afraid, the clips are bad for breaking off so you may struggle to get good ones, many held in with blu-tac/similar I'm sure, possibly still available from VX,
Manual, sorry

« on: 12 February 2018, 20:40:35 »As money puts go it looks smart, I think the money pit thing is a right of passage on here!
Aint that the truth. In less than 18 months after buying mine I spent over £1600 on it. It looks almost exactly the same as it did when I bought it, but it drives nicely and hopefully wont surprise me with any big bills in the future.
Logic says its madness to do this to a 15 year old, 180k miles car, but on the other hand, what else could I have bought that would have been as good a car for the money Ive spent ?
Yup.... Mines 21 and I have been complemented on how well it rides. BMW quality.

Hi,
As our baby has now reached 21 and I have retired it's time (when it's warm) to start doing some of the jobs that have been put off and off. But as the miles have been very low 1000 for the last 5 /6 yrs I don't think there will be too many problems. Gearbox oil. Diff oil. Both original..worth changing? All other fluids which are about 3 years old will be done. Vacuum pipes? There has to be a leak somewhere as the air inside the car stops blowing in when the engine is under load, uphill. Bonnet and boot struts just done. What a difference.
Getting some bits of rust now in the usual places, but looking forward to many more years of luxury

« on: 16 January 2018, 20:19:33 »Are there any week points to the cooling system on the left hand side of the V6 and if so what are they?Keep your heater on hot and it will slow the leak down. Wait for warmer weather
It’s leaking from somewhere up between the back of the exhaust manifold and fire wall and we couldn’t see exactly where
